SIMM Associates is a proud sponsor of the DBA International Legislative Fund in 2016. As active participants of the Accounts Receivable Management industry we understand the important role DBA International plays. As legislators continue to push new laws and regulations on the industry, DBA International helps to educate lawmakers on the effects legislation ultimately has on consumers.

“Over the past year we have seen federal, state and local governments enacting new legislation and we want to participate in making our points of view were heard” said Chief Operating Officer Jeff Simendinger. “We are proud to be participating in the legislative fund this year and helping DBA International to communicate their message to lawmakers.”

DBA International’s Legislative Fund provides the Accounts Receivable Management industry with a voice to regulators and legislators. As new laws and regulations are considered, it is important that the views of the industry be heard.

“We see significant value in our participation in the DBA International Legislative Fund, ” said President Greg Simendinger. “We encourage industry participants of all kinds to participate in the fundraising efforts that help to defend the industry from harmful legislation.”
